Poy Poy is a multiplayer party game at heart. Grab a multi-tap and four friends and take part in an ultimate battle of skill and wit. The idea is to be the last man standing in this arena based combat game. But don't worry if you can't find a multi-tap or four friends. There's plenty of AI characters to battle in various tournament modes and you can also play a 2 player deathmatch (with or without computer opponents). If it sounds fun now, wait 'till you play it...
Set in seven different 3D environments strewn with throwable objects, the game challenges you to a match against three other opponents armed with logs, rocks, ice blocks, and atomic bombs. If you run out of stuff to throw, you can toss your opponents around too. Each hit drops your life meter, so be careful who you pick a fight with.
Matches are divided into three rounds. Each round ends when one character is left standing, or when all characters are knocked out resulting in a draw. At the end of the round, you’re awarded points based on direct hits, luck, and round bonus. Direct hits are what they sound like, but don’t include most glove attacks or bomb radius damage. Luck is earned by collecting white heart/cloud items that appear out of the wooden crates. The round bonus is granted based on what order you were eliminated (first eliminated gets 0 points, the other three get varying amounts of points). Whoever has the most total points at the end wins.
The Poy Poy Cup mode is the single-player portion. In the Cup mode, you’re awarded money instead of points after each round. The person with the most money at the end of the match wins. Even if you lose the cup, you keep the money you won. You must win the match to advance in the cup, and you must play on every map.
There are three cups, Junior, Senior, and Master. In the Junior Cup, the last ranked person is eliminated after each match and replaced with a new character. If you beat the Junior Cup, you unlock extra characters. In the Senior and Master Cups, 3rd and 4th place are eliminated and replaced after every match.
If you beat the Master Cup without using any continues, you fight the King. If you beat the King, you get the best and cheapest glove in the game.
